It’s been a while since Microsoft announced they were not going to maintain Infopath any futher. Even though it’s still supported for a few years yet, I know this has still caused quite a bit of panic in the community. I also know some organizations are already using other 3rd party solutions, so as a quick poll, which Forms solution are you using? Or, are you happy to stay with Infopath?
If you are looking for a replacement, then I also put a list together of the Infopath Replacements and Vlad has just reviewed Kwizcom’s Forms Solution.
Hi,
I can recommend our solution, SharePoint Forms Designer. It allows you to create rich forms directly in the browser. It’s very well integrated into SharePoint and supports all kinds of fields including 3rd party and Managed Metadata. Also, you can create completely different forms for multiple SharePoint groups and conditions based on field values, current user and date with the help of its JS-framework and groups functionality.
No Brainer for sure! My degree is not even in IT and I think it is easy.
It is very user friendly, several design options available and much easier to use than InfoPath. Plus you can link the forms to workflows and tasks. It is very robust, user friendly and their support is fantastic.
It’s been a year that I tell my clients to stop developing InfoPath because soon or later an InfoPath developer will become a rare ressource and therefore expensive (only dinosaurs will work on their knowledge from the past 10 years, the new comers to SP will not even want to look into fixing the existing forms..) It reminds me what happened with Lotus Domino.
I advocate Nintex Forms (and Workflow as an option too) since it’s a No Client to install solution, all web based (ok, still IE at the moment for on-premise), drag and drop, no code… Â BUT also can do advanced programming if you include all the actions they now have such as State-Machine, on schedule start, web service and SQL calls and so , so much more !Â
No brainer really.Â
I actually keep telling my client that I am surprised Microsoft didn’t buy Nintex yet since they are not making their Workflow designer (and forms obviously) with a better UI.
I am using Infopath and like it just fine but if Nintex offers a form builder that is as good and easy to use as their workflow builder then I’m in! Â Anything to help another non-coder like myself is very helpful!!
